Palais Czernin (Vienna)
As Czernin Palace were in Vienna several buildings family Czernin von und zu Chudenitz called:
Palais Czernin in the old town
The Palais Czernin in the historic city center, Wallnerstraße 3 (historical address: Stadt 263), is also known as Palais Lamberg and as the Kaiserhaus because it was bought by Emperor Franz Stephan of Lothringen (in the Holy Roman Empire: Franz I), who is here Maintaining hobbies and receiving visitors who were not connected to the Habsburg monarchy of his wife Maria Theresa . The Czernin'sche Gemäldegalerie, laid out here by Johann Rudolf Count Czernin around 1800, was in the house until the death of the Count, who died here on April 23, 1845 and after his death it was moved to the Czernin'sche Palais built by his son Josefstadt (see below) transferred.
Palais Czernin-Althan on the Wieden
The Palais Czernin or Czernin-Althan was a palace used by the Czernin family only a short time before 1700 in today's 4th district of Vienna , Wieden . It was located on the west side of the later Favoritenstraße south of Waltergasse opposite the confluence with Theresianumgasse and no longer exists today.
The palace was diagonally across from today's Theresianum . The builder was Count Thomas Zacharias Czernin von und zu Chudenitz. Construction of the summer palace began in 1697, although the architect is unknown. From old illustrations one concludes that it could have been Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt . The building was originally a garden palace with an octagonal central section with a large terrace that could be reached via two open stairs. The two side wings were lower and had only simple gable roofs. It has been very generously equipped both inside and in the garden. Count Czernin died three years later, in 1700.
The palace was briefly in other hands before Count Michael Johann von Althann acquired it. This expanded it again. After his death in 1722, the estate was inherited by his widow Maria Anna von Althan, née Pignatelli. During her time, numerous festivals were celebrated here with guests from the high nobility to the imperial family, which only began after the death of Emperor Charles VI. to abate.
At the end of the 18th century, the furniture manufacturer Josef Danhauser set up a production facility in the palace, and large parts of the garden were sold as building sites. But the building also lost this function in 1838 after Danhauser's heir had to close the company. From then on it was used as the Wiedner hospital . After the necessary renovations, little was left of the original palace.
After the Second World War , the palace was torn down and the Bertha-von-Suttner-Hof residential complex was built .
Palais Czernin in Josefstadt
The Czernin'sche Palais , built 1837–1839, 1845–1954 with a picture gallery, is located behind the new Vienna City Hall, which was built later, in today's 8th district, Josefstadt , at Friedrich-Schmidt-Platz No. 4 (corner of Schmidgasse; two lines ) , originally also No. 5. The house was still registered in Lehmann's Vienna address book in 1911 with the address Landesgerichtsstrasse 9, although this part of the street was already renamed Friedrich-Schmidt-Platz at that time. The part of the building at No. 4 still exists today.
The aristocratic seat was completed in 1839 as the Fideikommisspalais of the Bohemian Czernin von und zu Chudenitz family on behalf of Count Eugen , the son of Johann Rudolf Count Czernin , the art-loving chief treasurer of Emperor Ferdinand I. At that time the palace overlooked the Josefstädter Glacis , on which an important parade ground for the army was located until 1870 and which later became today's Vienna City Hall .
Czerninsche Gemäldegalerie: From 1845 to 1954, the year of his death, the private art collection founded by Johann Rudolf Graf Czernin and last managed by Eugen Czernin – Chudenitz (1892–1955) was located here, most of which were then loaned to and from the Salzburg Residenzgalerie 1980-1991 was purchased. It mainly comprised paintings by Dutch, but also Italian, Spanish and French artists of the 17th century. The Czerninsche Gemäldegalerie was z. B. around 1936 open to the public for a total of ten hours three days a week.
The Czerninsche Gemäldegalerie appeared in Meyers Konversations-Lexikon 1895 with the following entry:
- "In the palace of Count Czernin in Vienna, contains around 300 paintings, mostly by Dutch masters ( Rubens , van Dyck, Ruisdael , Potter , Rembrandt , van Huysum and van der Meer )."
Palace building: As can be seen in the photo from 1860, it once comprised 30 window axes and thus also the 15 window axes of today's property at Friedrich-Schmidt-Platz 5, where a modern building (today the cultural department of the City of Vienna) was erected between 1914 and 1916 . The Czernin family included Ottokar Czernin , one of the last Austro-Hungarian foreign ministers.
The three-part portal group has a Tuscan pilaster structure and a cartouche with the Czernin coat of arms. On the part of the originally four-storey palace, which still exists today, two storeys were added between 1928 and 1935 (photos by the Österreichische Lichtbildstelle), so that it now comprised six storeys and an attic. The palace was severely damaged in the Second World War.
Czernin's garden palace in Leopoldstadt
Another Czerninpalais in Vienna is listed in Felix Czeike's Historisches Lexikon Wien at the location between Praterstrasse and Franzensbrücke in what was then the suburb of Leopoldstadt in the later 2nd district, Czerninplatz 4–5. Hermann Jakob Graf Czernin (1659–1710) bought the area in 1685, had a garden palace built and subsequently expanded the area to include today's Danube Canal ; Under a later owner, the garden palace began to deteriorate in 1767, and in 1795 the parceling of the site began.
